M2 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StM2 (PGSC0003DMG400008860) on potato chromosome 9 encodes a cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) with annotated cis-trans proline isomerase activity, cyclosporin A binding, salicylic acid binding, peroxidase activity, and L-serine O-acetyltransferase activity. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including protein proline isomerization, chaperone-mediated protein complex assembly, alternative mRNA splicing, response to light intensity, wound healing, and regulation of ARF protein signal transduction. StM2 is linked to numerous agronomic traits such as photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, starch grain synthesis, sucrose content, jasmonic acid content, chloroplast development, variegated leaf, root hair length, meristem development, herbicide sensitivity, and temperature stress response. Related genes in other species are linked to drought response, cold stress tolerance, hydrotropism, and embryo patterning.
